As he commanded them to eat the bread in remembrance of him, ¹so he commanded them to drink the wine in remembrance of him: nay, he speaks more precisely of the wine than of the bread: for he saith of the wine, Drink ye all of this, which he saith not of the bread. Surely, Christ did foresee that some proud Heretics would do otherwise after him, even as it is come to pass: for the Papists do break this commandment of Christ, as flatly as Saul break the commandment of Samuel. Samuel commanded him to kill the sat and the lean, Saul killed the lean, but not the fat; so Christ commandeth to receive bread and wine: they teach to receive bread, but not wine.

They may not drink at the Communion: as the their Priests were their Lords.
